1894 pricing

[popol]

Hello

I have a 1924 win94 that I would like to sell.

It is not in the greatest shape, but it is far from being a rust bucket.

I have never shot it myself. There is some minor corrosion in the barrel and the blue isnt in great shape

The stock is in great shape.

I have checked the EE and the prices are all over the places so I cant really tell a fair price.

Thanks for helping

You've got a few condition issues. Looks like a swivel stud has been added to the barrel band. I'm assuming there is/was a stud in the buttstock as well. Saddle ring is gone, back sight is not original. Can't see the front sight, so that's a question mark. Wood looks to have been sanded and refinished at least once.

That said, what with the prices on the EE lately, I'm betting it would be a quick sell at $800. You could list it for higher and bump down if you don't get any bites. Winchester pricing is really hard to guage these days, so I could be totally out in left field.

I'm betting it won't sell at all at $800
$450 -550$

$800 seems pretty steep given the condition... at least in my opinion.
Very little collector value in that condition but if the barrel isn't too corroded to shoot then maybe some value as a truck or saddle gun.

I don't think you have checked out the ridiculous prices 94's are going for lately. Even post 64 carbines are selling for $800 and up. Have to be really rough shape to fetch as little as $550. Not implying they are worth that just that is what some are paying.

Thank you very much for the inputs!

8 won't be too far off.
Yer few brown ones offered is a tad rediculous.

Get with the times s55

I don't know who would want that rifle and imo certainly not in the $800 range. There are a vast number of levers available at present and some decent pre-64 30-30s in the $800 to $1000 range and more come up fairly regularly. Also many .32 WS but they're becoming dinosaurs and probably not a good choice going forward unless one has a good supply of ammo or re-load with a good supply of brass.

Check the auction sites, even if you don’t actually bid. Gun prices are softer now, and getting more so. Honest condition reporting really weeds out a lot of buyers. I think money is getting tight and more owners are trying to liquidate their collections to pay bills. Add in shipping costs being higher and the market has changed quite a in the last year.
